What's with the heavily emotive descriptors used by news people these days?

"crashed into Florida", " it roared ashore", " Those of you who were punched during Hurricane Helene, this is going to be a knockout.", "plowing across the state"...

Is it because people are so desensitised to news events that the narrative needs to be dressed up to gain their attention? 'Boy who cried wolf'?

Could be, or laziness on the part of the press. 

They seems to sometimes use labels for  everything - 'proud community' gets used frequently...surely, there must be some ashamed communities somewhere out there. 

Possibly the ones which contain politicians...
